Description

The hotel has just been completely renovated from the inside out. No money has been spared in creating an original atmosphere from the impressive facade to the decoration in the lobby, bar-restaurant area as well as the 12 doubles and 2 suites with terrace, all with a different decor finished with the best artiste materials. The hotel is in a peaceful setting near Essaouira city centre and only 5 minutes walk from the beach.

At least then I had some smaller money to buy things with once we arrived in Essaouira. When we first arrived we went for a walk along the beach, there were very few swimmers ...

We will still bicycle back to town this afternoon for one last feel for Essaouira, and then head inland to Marrakech tomorrow.
